Doja Cat Opens Up About Past Substance Struggles

Doja Cat has shared details about her past struggles with alcohol and drugs.

In a candid TikTok video posted on Monday, the Say So singer – whose real name is Amala Dlamini – reflected on how substance abuse often connects with people who have “uncared for (or) undiagnosed mental illness.”

“The best example, from my experience, is using the Internet as a means of validation to the negative thoughts in my head, which were then brought on by drinking alcohol,” she said. “I’ve never had a real problem with drugs, except for weed, but... alcohol is something that I definitely have had a problem with – I was never an alcoholic, but I definitely had problems.”

Doja went on to stress that it’s “not good to pair these two things together” and reminded fans that they aren’t “indestructible.”

Elsewhere in the footage, the artist revealed she used cocaine at one point. “I have struggled with cocaine... I think could have been like eight years ago, but I’m well past that, so... thank God,” the 30-year-old shared, before urging anyone dealing with mental health issues to avoid the Internet. “If people are commenting stuff that makes you hate yourself... validates the stuff that you already hate about yourself, just know that first of all, you probably need help – second of all, they probably need help.”

To conclude, Doja called the Internet “everyone’s favourite place to project.” She added, “Be clear in your words – this isn’t a place where people want to be clear... not everything is the truth; not everything is so cut and dry.”

Representatives for the Kiss Me More star have not yet commented on the videos.
